“God’s radiance”

“When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.” Exodus 34:29

Verse Reflections:  I’ve always wanted to have this radiance and I have even felt it flowing inside of me when I have gone to retreats or spent a lot of time with God.  This verse reminds us that spending time with God, speaking with God fills us with His light.  And yet, Moses was not even aware that this light was shining from him.  There is a genuine connection between God and light.  Light allows us to see, it makes things that are hidden visible.  It allows us to know where to walk.  It shines into the darkness, into the corners.  Light also is the understanding of a problem or a mystery.  God brings us both kinds of light.  Today let us absorb God’s light as we spend time with Him, as we speak with Him.  May He shine light in the darkness and give us the desire to eat healthy foods.  May He give us the understanding that this is the best choice for us.  May we be radiant with His light from within.

Prayer:  Father, I want to spend time with You, I want to speak with You.  I want to know Your light is within and radiating out.  If I have a radiance it would be the reflection of You.  May I be Your moon as You are the sun.  Give me energy.  I realize that even as Moses was shining this light You had given Him instructions, laws to obey.  Give me the desire to follow Your laws, to eat healthy foods and treasure this amazing body You have created.  I breathe.  I love.  I think.  I can move any part of my body I command with my brain.  I can look at a problem and solve it.  I am a fool for ever taking this for granted.  Give me today, the desires to eat Your foods and the light that shines from within.
